This delightful selection is by one of the classic masters of the genre, presented in lively Naxos AudioBooks style with music and sound effects.

Editor reviews
This engaging production of Danish playwright, poet, and author Hans Christian Andersen’s melancholy love story of a tin soldier who falls in love with a paper ballerina is complete with music and sound effects. Bob Rollett’s baritone readily conveys both the joy of the proud soldier’s adoration and his bravery in facing fateful challenges, as well as the full cast of characters he meets between falling from a window, and, finally, being reunited with his love. This selection is from the Thumbelina and Other Fairy Talescollection.
